Why Bradford White is a Strong Choice for Calgary Homes
Bradford White is a trusted name in North American water heating and for good reason. Their hot water tanks are engineered for performance, durability, and safety. For Calgary homeowners, they offer standout features like Vitraglas lining (resists corrosion in hard water conditions), Defender Safety System (flame arrestor for gas units), and Hydrojet technology for reducing sediment buildup.
At Comfort Union, we recommend Bradford White tanks for their reliability in Alberta’s colder climate and their strong local support for warranties and parts availability. They’re a solid long-term investment for families and rental properties alike.
